White Rose BBSRC DTP: Compartmentalised synaptic plasticity underlying associative memory

University of Sheffield White Rose BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership

If a neuron is connected to multiple partners, and it needs to change its connection strength with one partner but not the others, how does it do that? That is, what mechanisms underlie the specificity of synaptic plasticity?. Read more

Understanding and optimising motor cortex plasticity

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Motor learning is a key skill required at all stages of life but is crucially important for recovery and development. A mechanistic understanding of the biological processes that underpin skill acquisition in healthy and pathological states is an important scientific and clinical goal. Read more

Cell-biological mechanisms mediating primary cilium mediated interpretation of Shh signalling during vertebrate neuronal differentiation

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Newborn neurons undergo extensive morphological changes as they polarise to extend axons. In the developing spinal cord, newborn neurons extend axons towards their targets in response to cues from the surrounding tissues. Read more
